Alliance Rubber Company Releases a New Version of Gear and Cable Wrapz™

HOT SPRINGS, AR., May 2, 2011 –Alliance Rubber Company has perfected their Gear and Cable Wrapz products.
Whether fastening up ropes, cords, hoses, or tarps, Alliance’s Wrapz™ and Strapz™ are the ideal solution to all
your bundling and tie down needs. Made from EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), they are all weather
products with UV and ozone resistance. They even have the added benefit of being latex-free, non-conductive and
non-metallic.

"We work hard to improve our products,” said Bonnie Swayze, Alliance’s President and CEO. "No other bundling
tool works as well or in as many ways as our Wrapz™ and Strapz™. Users want a re-usable tool to bundle,
organize and label their indoor and outdoor equipment, and retailers and distributors are looking for new profit
opportunities in this very competitive and cost-sensitive business. Alliance’s products meet both these needs."

Wrapz and Strapz are incredibly flexible. With this type of construction, cables of multiple sizes can be bundled and
secured, with the ability to be easily released. Cable Wrapz, Gear Wrapz, and Gear Strapz are available at local
retailers; including Storables, Academy Sports, and Container Store.
